</profiles>

Get Started

The following code sample demonstrates how to get started:

Instantiate the caching client.
Request secret.

// This example shows how an AWS Lambda function can be written
// to retrieve a cached secret from AWS Secrets Manager caching
// client.
package com.amazonaws.secretsmanager.caching.examples;

import com.amazonaws.services.lambda.runtime.Context;
import com.amazonaws.services.lambda.runtime.RequestHandler;
import com.amazonaws.services.lambda.runtime.LambdaLogger;

import com.amazonaws.secretsmanager.caching.SecretCache;

/**
 * SampleClass.
 */
public class SampleClass implements RequestHandler<String, String> {

    private final SecretCache cache = new SecretCache();

    @Override
    public String handleRequest(String secretId, Context context) {
        final String secret = cache.getSecretString(secretId);
        // Use secret to connect to secured resource.
        return "Success!";
    }
}
